  1. A exactly two solutions in \((-\infty, \infty)\)
  2. B no solution
  3. C a unique solution in \((-\infty, 1)\)
  4. D a unique solution in \((-\infty, \infty)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) a unique solution in \((-\infty, \infty)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^2-4 x+[x]+3=x[x]\) \(\Rightarrow x^2-4 x+3=x[x]-[x]\) \(\Rightarrow(x-1)(x-3)=[x] .(x-1)\) \(\Rightarrow x=1 \text { or } x-3=[x]\) \(\Rightarrow x-[x]=3\) \(\Rightarrow\{x\}=3 \text { (Not Possible) }\) Only one solution \(x=1\) in \((-\infty, \infty)\)
